My Hockey Alpha



"I'm still not talking," she growled. "Mother will come and save me soon, and then you'll all be sorry."

I couldn't help but laugh. "She is not your mother," I replied. "She hates you. You were just a pawn in her game and nothing more. Don't you remember how she treated you when she found out that you were a human? Doesn't your head still hurt from the fall and the way that she shoved her shoe into your temple? Or maybe I should rip off that bandage and remind you how much it hurt."

My sister didn't say anything, but I could see a flash of something in her eyes. I could tell that what I said resonated with her, at least a little bit. Honestly, I felt bad for her; the Luna had her so manipulated that she genuinely saw her as her own mother, leaving her oblivious to the horrendous things that the Luna was trying to accomplish. The Luna could have killed Selena, and Selena never would have blamed her for it.

"Come on, Selena," Enzo said. "Just talk to us. Is the Luna going to attack? Is she going to kill the Alpha King?" *Ha!" Selena laughed. "Mother would never kill Daddy. Don't you know how much fighting that would cause? Hordes of men would attack the mansion thinking that they could become the next Alpha King. Mother isn't stupid."

I couldn't help but let out a small sigh of relief. At least the Alpha King was safe, at least for now. But it still didn't answer whether the Luna would be on her way to slaughter everyone she could get her hands on soon.

"Listen, Selena," I said, placing my hands on my hips. "I know you don't want to die. And the Luna, whether you want to believe it or not, is going to try to kill you. You can either give us information to help us stop that from happening, so we can protect you, or you can be stubborn and basically just lie down and let her murder you along with thousands - millions, if she gets her way in the end of people. Is that what you want?"

Selena was silent for a long time. I could see her pursing her lips and chewing the inside of her cheek, and her eyes were narrowed as she glared at me. But at the same time, I knew that I was right; she didn't want to die. She still had an ounce of self preservation in her body.

"Look, I don't know when she'll attack," she finally said. "For now, she has what she wants: the throne. With daddy manipulated, she has all of the power. But you're a threat to that, so it's only a matter of time before she sends her lackeys."

*And who are these lackeys"?" Enzo asked. "Are they Crescents? Rogues? Both?"

But it seemed that we had exhausted Selena's generosity, because she didn't answer. She simply shrugged and laid back down on the bed, turning over to face away from us. I sighed and looked at Enzo, who looked back at me with wide eyes.

There was nothing that could be done. Perhaps, in time, Selena would offer some more information. Maybe she would even break free of the Luna's brainwashing and would see that we weren't the enemy, and she would help us. But for now, all we could do was keep a close eye on her until that moment came.

And for now, I just wanted to go home with Enzo and pretend that things were normal for just one night.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
